Let's Have a Powwow
LHAP is centered around the Urban Indigenous experience in NYC. We will talk about guests Homelands and How and Why they came to the big city. We will also cover culture and fashion as it is a big part of the Podcast Hosts' life. Being a fat, brown woman working in Fashion for over 20 years I've heard it all! Let's Have a Powwow is inspired by those cringe moments we've had in professional settings where someone has suggested "having a powwow" to discuss work stuff. We are reclaiming the word! So join in and enjoy indigenous excellence. Don't worry, everyone is invited, we will also feature some of my favorite Allies!
Let's Have a Powwow
Omar Monroy El Techichi
Welcome Back to Lets have a powwow, I am your host Amy Farid. Happy Pride month and for our relatives up north Happy Indigenous History Month! I had the pleasure of talking to Omar Monroy, A Trans, Indigenous Mexican jewelry designer and artist. Omar’s, Jewelry line El Techichi, features statement pieces Hand crafted out of vintage metals and Gemstones. What drew me to their Jewelry was that Omar’s creations seem to tell us a story about Her indigeneity. The pueblo her family is from, the food their Abuelita makes, and the animalitos who inspire her. We discuss her upbringing as an undocumented immigrant living in the Inland Empire, being a fat femme, and the struggle to find their identity and voice. Omar, take it away!
